HAYES "AND THE - SOUTH.
WHAT UK W lI.L 110 IF KLECTKD.
HIS SOUTHERN POLICY—SHAIIP STABS AT
GRANT OPPOSED TO CARPET BAG IBM
AND BCAL A WAGGERY IX FAVOR OF
CAPABLE AND HONEST LOCAL GOVERN
MENT—AN ANSWER TO AN AUGUSTA
LETTER.
Cincinnati Commercial, Dec. 20th ]
The warlike Hewitt, heard so much
about the defection of Southern Djui
oerats that he ealieil a caucus ut
Southern members ut his house oh
the night of the 16th. It was ascer
tained that there was still a solid
South. So the dispatches say. Ben
Hill explained that lie thou tilt the
Eeaceiul inauguration of Hayes a
etterthiug thuu that Grunt should
hold oven Lamar said the South
could aot affliate with the Republican
party. The main matter, however,
is the alarm of the New York
Democrats about a Hayes move
ment iu the South. They had
iieard so much about it that
they thought it well to lull the roll
There is a fact or two brhiud this
that should bo considered most at
tentively. The Southern Democrats
have not been seconding the extreme
measures of the Northern Democrats.
They have exerted not an irritating,
but a soothing influence. They
should have lull credit for that.
Perhaps the rea-on they assign for
the cautiou they display is not agree
able, bur, it is strong. It is: "We
had an immense number of offers
from the North of help if we resisted
the Presidency of Abruhnm Lincoln.
We did resist, but no help came, with
the exception of a few stragglers tin I
oue organized company from soutn
ern Illiuois. commanded by a kins
man of Gen. Logan. We hud the
lighting to do and got the worst ot it.
Now those offers are repeated. We
are told to go ahead and resist the
inauguration of Hayes, and they will
reinforce us. Our reply is: If you
please take the hca t of the column
and we will bringupthe rear. Weonee
waited for your reinforcements and
they came not.”
We have not altogether despaired
of reinforcing the party of Ameri
can Nationality and general freedom
and fair play from the white men or
the South. We are aware that the
majority of the Southern whites were
opposed to secession, and only ter
rorized at last into the fatal policy
that made war necessary, by and 'spe
radoes. We remember tiie ol I Whigs
of the South, and the Jackson Dem
ocrats who detested disunionists, and
put down nullitlers; an I we hope the
race is not extiuet. The misgovern
ment of the South through Grant’s
administration is not an obscure fact
initiatory. In the first place. Grant
was not in the slightest sense or the
word, a statesman, lie was our most
successful General, and by all the
precedents we had to elect him Pres
ident. In the second place, the
South did not give Grant it fair
chance. lie had a great deal of good
feeling toward the South, and put
forward his old friend liongstreet.
How was L mgstreet treated? Was
there anything in the treatment of
liHigstreet by the Confederates cal
culated to encourage t he President to
a liberal recognition of Southern
men of his class?
Grant became entangled in his fa
voritism, and had bail advisers, and
when lie attempted in vain to disci
pline the most distin-iuished North
ern Seuators, he was forced inro close
relations with persons unworthy his
confidence. There was carpet-bag
ging and scalswaggery in the South
that was deplorable, and that hmi
the countenance of those high in au
thority. The Htvte tha: suffered
most was South Cirolina. 11a, the
time came when there was a chance
for an honorable Republican admin
istration in that State. Governor
Chamberlain fought the battle for
reform within his own party; and we
have seen how he was sit (ported by
tiie white men of the State whose
complaints of corrupt rule had been
most bitter. At the termination of
the war a statesman was President
of the United States. Abraham Lin
coln ha<l during the war attaine i the
stature of salesmanship. and wi
have not had astatesmanint the head
of affairs since he was assassinated.
Wo hope the quality that was lost in
tiie Nation’s need, and that has been
so loug and painfully absent, may b ■
restored with the accession of Haies.
He said of Southern affairs in his let
ter of acceptance:
“The condition of the Southern
States attracts rhe attent ion and com
mands the sympathy of the people ol
the whole Union. In their progres
sive recovery from the effects of the
war, their first necessity is an intelli
gent arid honest administration of
government, which will protect all
classes of citizens in all their politi
cal and private rights. What the
South most needs is peace, and peace
depends upon the supremacy of law.
There can be no enduring peace if
the constitutional rights of any por
tion of the people are habitually dis
regarded. A division of political par
ties resting merely upon distinctions
of race or upon sectional lines, is al
ways unfortunate and may be disas
trous. The welfare of the Soutn.
alike with that of every other part of
the country, depends upon the at
tractions it can offer to labor, to im
migration and to capital; but labor
ers will not go. and capital will not
be ventured, where the Constitution
and the laws are set at defiance and
distraction, and apprehension, and
alarm takes the place of peace
loving and law-abiding social
life. All parts of the Constitu
tion are sacred,and must be sacredly ob
seivel —the parts that are new no le3s
than the parts that are old. The moral
and material prosperity of the Southern
Slates can be most ettcclually advanced
by a hearty ami generous recognition of
the rights of all by all-a recognition
without reserve or exception. With
such recognition fully accorded, it will be
practical to promote by the influence of
all legitimate agencies of the General
Government the effort of the people of
those States to obtain for themselves the
blessings of honest and ca]mhle local gov
ernment. If elected, I shall consider it
! -ot only my duty, hut it will be my
ardent desire to latior for the attain,
ment of this end. Let me assure my
countrymen ol'the Southern States that if
1 shall be charged with the duty ol or
ganizing an administration, it will be one
which will regard and cherish their truest
interests —tin-, interests of the white
and of the colored people, both and
equally—and which will put forth its heat
efforts in beliull <fa civil policy which
will wipe out forever he distinction be
tween North uud South in our Common
country."
There lias been a feeling iu the country
that it would he well iT Governor Hayes,
under the present circumstances, could
speak words ol good will to the people o:
the South. What better words could lie
select than those in his letter of accep
tance to which he has recently pointed as
the best expression of ilia views he could
give? What could he sav more happily
adapted to the susceptibilities and inter
ests ol the Southern people than that on
a condition the justice ol which all must
admit, he would labor through all the le
gitimate agencies of the General Govern
ment to promote the effort of the people
of the Southern States to obtain the
blessings of honest and capable local
governmeoi ?
It is gratifying and not surprising to
know that there are Southern people who
did not support Governor Hayes for the
Presidency, who are looking to him
with sympathy, and with confidence
that his peaceful inauguration would
be far better tor them man the reac
tion. excitement and contusion, the up
ri-ing of impracticable hut irrita
ting and dangerous aspirations,
lit it would accompany a Democratic ail
ministration ; and Governor Hayes would
be untrue to .himself if he did not under
stand the growth of this seioime.it to he
a promise "that if lie might indeed expend
his best effort s in a eivil policy that
would wipe out the distinction between
the North and South; and we do not
doubt that he would find methods and
opportunities for the appropriate recogni
tion of this auspicious sentiment.

TIIF. PRESIDENT OF THE SENATE INTI
MATES A PURPOSE OF GOING BEYOND
THE LAW.
Special Die patch to the World.}
Washington, December 23.— N0
public olll'-'f lias been more persist
ently anti more fruitlessly Interview
ed than Henutor Kerry, President
protein, oft lie .Senate. The last re
ported conversaiion with him war
published In a Baltimore paper this
morning, and Senator Ferry, after
reading it, has taken occasion to de
ny its statements seriatim, aud pro
nounces it all made up. In conversa
tion with a friend this morning, Sen
ator Ferry defined his position upon
some disputed points; and, white not
constituting an interview, the con
versation may be accepted as giving
his views. It will be remembered
that iu receipting for the sealed en
velopes brought to him. Senator Fer
ry has adopted anew form, designa
ting them ar envelopes claiming to
contain the electoral vole. In re
ceipting fur the packages received by
mail, lie has taken ii similar course,
describing the envelope and its
marks iu his receipt. All these en
velops purporting to contain electo
ral votes he propose I to take to the
place of meeting for the two houses,
and there to of ea then without ex
ception, treating ail, so far as their
opening by the President of the Sen
ate iu the presence of the two houses
is concerned, in precisely the same
manner. This ends a tolerably con
stant rumor that only certain envel
opes would bo opened by the Presi
dent of the Senate, and insures that
instead of 369 votes coining before
the two houses for verification, 391
will bs handed lo the tellers, of which
2(6 will be for Tilden and Hendricks
aud 197 for Hayes and Wheeler,
What his action will be in the mat
ter Mr. Ferry declines to say until
the committee of conference liuve
reached a decision or disagreed irre
vocably.
Mr. Ferry’s language upon the sub
ject i’s sufficiently significant to de
serve quotation as an informal ex
pression of his views: “I hope tiie
two committees will come to some
plan. If the two houses agree, no
lo idy will haveany objection to make.
That will settle ttie matter. It is not
a question that I want to decide. It
is not an enviable position for any
man to take. He is certain, however
he decides it, to be hated by half the
R-publie. But if the two houses fail
to agree I shall appear at their place
of meeting with ali theenvelopesaud
do my Uuiy under tiie Cinstitution.
I shall have no hesitat on whatever
in doing my whole duty. I shall
shii kno responsibility.” What Mr.
Ferry considers his additional duty
under Die Constitution in the verlfica
tion of the votes and their count he
lid not this morning say. He has
not yet said, and, except to his imme
diate poliiical friends, a clear-headed,
reticent politician on the eve of a re
election to the Senate is not likely to
sav until February 14; but that he
considers that he has a duty to per
form beyond the mere opening, in
case ttie houses fail to adopt some
plan before their joint meeting, no
listener to his conversation this morn
ing, whose use as a conversation with
a friend he permitted, could have
any doubt, judging from his phrase
and from tiie evident and earnest de
sire that the two houses should de
liver him of the ch irge of deciding
the question before they met in joint
session. Mr. Ferry said also that the
Senate committee is not ma te up to
favor a reference to the Supreme
Court. He was anxious simply to get
a strong committee of lawyers from
the Judiciary Committee and the
Committee on Privileges and Elec
tions. He claims the credit of having
insisted upon the even division of the
committee.

TERRIBLE RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
100 PERSONS KILLED, 00 WOUNDED.
Cleveland, 0., Dec. 30.-The Lake
Shore train, bouud west,went through
the iron bridge at Adbtubula, Ohio,
into the river, yesterday. The unfor
tunate train was Wuovtu as the Pacific
Express, and consisted of six coaches
and two drawing-room ears, with the
usual express aud baggage cars, and
two engines.
The relief train hence was two
hours reaching the scene, though
drawn by two engines aud the dis
tance only thirty miles.
Daniel McGuire, engineer of the
forward engine, relates that the train
was tunning tit a slow rate, and just
as they hud fairly crossed the high
bridge, which is not more than for
ty rods distaut from the depot, he
felt a violent jar, and in tin instant
the coupling between two engines
had broken and the whole truiu was
precipitated, with the bridge, into
the river below. McGuire says that
his engine was pulled back nearly to
tlte edge of the broken span before
the coupling severed, and it
regained its forward motion bare
ly in time to save itself.
Tbe bridgo over the Ashtabula
river was an iron truss bridge, and
had been in use about 11 years. The
span is about 100 feet wide, and
through the space between Hows the
river, about four or five feet deep at
this time, thickly covered with ice.
In this space were the 11 cars and
one engine and tender precipitated.
The fall of 60 feet, breaking through
the icy covering, shivered the cars
as if a magazine of nitroglycerine
had exploded beneath them.
The seven passenger coaches alto
gether contained übont 165 adults,
besides a number of children. In the
drawing-room car, which was bound
for Cleveland, were nine persons,
all of whom are supposed to have
perished by drowning or from lire.
In the two sleepers-bouud for Chica
go there were thirty-live passengers,
and most of those in the forward car
are saved, with injuries more or less
severe.
Within a very few moments after
the crash the flames burst out simul
taneously from nearly every car.
The latest statement gives 100 kill
ed and 60 wounded. Among the
wounded are T. C. Wright, of Nash
ville, about the back—can be moved ;
and Walter Hayes, of Lexington, Ky.,
slightly.
I.ATF4I.

missing. The dead are disfigured

THE EASTERN QUESTION.
THE ARMISTICE I*KOLONS£D.
* Marc Hopeful ot P.n—
London, Dec. 30.—Reuter's Tele
gram ‘Company have the following
from Paris: It Is officially announc
ed hero that the armistice has been
prolonged until the Ist of March.
Constantinople, December .30.— At
Thursday's sitting of the Conference,
which lusted four hours, it was de
cided that the armistice should be
prolonged until the Ist of March
1877.
Tho Turkish delegates submitted
objections to several of the proposals
made by the conference, chiefly on
the subject of guarantees. A discus
sion lollowed on these questions, in
which Count Chandorley, French
plenipotentiary, took tlte leading
part.
Tlte next sittings of the conference
will be on Saturday and Monday,
und it is expected that rapid progress
will be made with the deliberations.
Tbe apprehensions recently enter
tained of au unfavorable issue, are
now considerably diminished, aud a
pacific solution of the pending ques
tions is anticipated.
Tho British fleet lias left Besika.
The Pall Mall Gazette of this even
ing states that the proposal for a pro
longation of the armistice was made
by the Porte, aud considers that this
action adds much to the hopefulness
of the situation. It believes Turltoy
has put forward a proposal that a po
lice force composed of Turkish regu
lar troops under European officers,
shuli supervise the application of re
forms in the province-*. Whether
the Czar and his ministers will be
content with it, the Pall Mall Gazette
seriously doubts, declaring it easier
to believe the Russian army must
fight, unless its Sovereign can boast
of a far more obvious diplomatic vic
tory than he is likely to obtain, than
that it will be ordered home by a
governmentvirtally defeated in the
conference chamber.
London, Dec. 30. -The Times' cor
respondent at Constantinople takes
an encouraging view of the situa
tion from the prolongation of the ar
mistice and the entertainjneutby the
conference of the Turkish objections
by members of conference, and their
reference to their respective powers
for instructions. This seems to have
been tbe result of Thursday ’*session
of the conference.
London, Dec. 30.— The Moscow
Gazette says, in the event of the con
ference being broken off, Russia
would have to enforce upon Turkey
not her own decision, but that of
Europe. Europe would then virtual
ly make war against Turkey with
Russian arms. Tho more friendly
neutrality of Europe would not suf
fice, as it was not Russia who raised
the Eastern question. Russia could
not afford to risk a rear or flank at
tack upon tho Porto in addition
to the sacrifice which a war would
entail upon Iter. Russia must there
fore unite her own interests with
that of some other power.
[NoTE.-The foregoing is a hint
that Russia will not operate alone
against the Porte iu case negotiations
fail. This is a further pacific indica
tion; as. in the present‘condition of
Europe, any offensive alliance against
the Porte is highly improbable.]
Bt. Petersburg, Dec. 30.—Tho Ga
lois thinks the Sultan can make the
concessions demanded by the Pow
ers without fear of the fanaticisms of
the Turkish people, which are rather
produced by tho government for its
own purposes, than spontaneously
directed against its policy.
The same paper adds: “A wise con
cession will strengthen the Sultan’s
position, while stubborn opposition
would undoubtedly produce serious
conflicts.”
The Ntrlke on (he Grund Work,
Tohanto, Dec. 30.—The lougrhreat
ened strike of engine men in the em
ploy of the Grand Trunk Railroad,
lust niglir, became an accomplish
ed fact tills morning, along tlie whole
length, enjoying an almost total sus
pension of business. Pending the
making of arrangements for resump
tion all trains have been cancelled.
The first tains were all can
celled at six o’clock yesterday
evening, in anticipation of the
strike. Now no less than 15 of them
are on the sideling between
this city and Stratford. Meanwhile
every effort is being made to secure
the services of competent engineers
to place business on a normal basis.
The train from Montreal was aban
doned a few miles east of Coburg last
night. The passengers, silty in num
ber, were conveyed to Coburg in
sleighs. This morning engines and
cars encumbered the line at inter
vals. There is said to be a large
qu mtiiy of live stock on the aban
doned ears.
The severe snow storm subsided
this morning.

The TreaßCbv Robbery.—Further
investigation of the Treasury robbery
shows the following facts:
Some three weeks ago George Sny
der’s Illinois National Bank of Chi
cago received a package from the
Treasury Department supposed to
contain $12,000 in greenbacks, sent in
exchange fpr money redeemer}; but
when the package was opened it was
found to be what the detectives call
a‘"boodle,” containing nothing but
blank paper. The fullest examina
tion of this robbery fails to find it to
have been perpetrated in any other
place than the cash-room of the
Treasury Department. It is supposed
that the clerks who tnako up tbe
packages for the Express Company
had prepared a similar package of
waste paper, and that they substitu
ted it for the money package.
There is not a single sure safeguard
in the management of tbe Treasury
Department against such a theft, and
the course that has been pursued for
years in the prosecution of treasury
thefts lias hud the effect to make a
premium upon the stealing of Gov
ernment money. The robbery of the
cash room during Mr. Spinner’s time
of $47,500, forms an interesting prece
dent for this last robbery. The prin
cipals irr the former case have never
been convicted. They are at present
out on bait and there is not tiie
remotest possibility that they will
ever be punished. The custom of
Congress, too. iu remitting defalca
tions has had a tendency to make
officers of the department less vigi
lant in setting up safeguards against
these thefts. What was done
three weeks ago in the substitution
of this $12,000 package may be done
again to-morrow.
The People Want Proof.
There ik.no medicine prescribed by phys
icians Tor sold by druggists, that carries
sucli evidence of its success and superior
virtue as Boschee’s German Syrup for se
vere Coughs, Colds settled on the breast,
Consumption.or any disease of the Throat
and Lungs. A proof of that fact is that
anyporson afflicted, can get a Sample
Bottle for 10 cents and try its superior
effect before buying the regular site at 75
cents. It has lately been Introduced in
this country from Germany, and its won
derful cures are astonishing everyone
that use it. Three doses will relieve any
case. Try it. Sold by
